Mission Outcome:The initial plan was for us all to meet up and run through some quests. Since we couldn't even decide how to do that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we decided to just run through the earliest quest one of us had, which we lasted for about 15 minutes doing before running off and doing our own things.

It was nice to be able to socialise and play alongside others. A big thanks to Scorch and Tatchi for answering the endless questions Chugster and I had - hopefully we'll get to know things a lot better over the coming weeks!

Oh, and Tatchi does push-ups whilst waiting for the rest of the group.

As always, many thanks to you three for attending, and if anyone else wishes to join we'll accept anyone! Current level is about 10 but don't be deterred if you're higher or lower

Mission Outcome:Completed episode 1. The citadel was kind enough to wait to explode until after we'd spent far too long getting mauled to death by Zombine after navigating a room full of electrified water. Then we played Walking Simulator for a load of disappearing and buggy citizens.

All in all, on to Episode 2 next week. Thanks for attending all, and there's still room for 4 more people who have Half Life 2 Episode 2 installed!

Mission Outcome:Tonight we were joined by a friend of mine, Garacesh, who along with Scorch kindly carried Chugster and myself through many levels - from 12 to 20!
Hopefully soon we'll have reached level 30 and can actually get on with the main content.

Thanks to everyone for attending, and I hope to see everyone again next week!

Mission Outcome:After Laz had finished downloading the correct game (the Steam link, for anyone interested, is https://store.steampowered.com/app/563560/) we got into the game and started shooting aliens. Occasionally. Mostly we shot each other. Sometimes it was even accidental.

Following the first few levels of utter chaos, getting devoured by aliens and shot by each other, we discovered the joys of grenades. Oh what fun! At our direst moments we could now blow each other up rather than wasting our ammo.

Now planning took a turn. Staying to the left/right sides, moving slowly so we could stick together, and organising our gear with planned turret locations: all of this made our lives easier. Until the final level. We still haven't completed that yet. We will next week!

A shout out to Chugster for valiantly holding the rear guard during our excursions, to Laz for welding all the doors and reloading so much his ammo line graph was almost vertical, Ben with his flamethrower, Sammy for healing and getting shot, and Arlu3n with his shotgun with a spread so wide most machine gunners would have been appalled.

Finally a minutes silence in honour of the dead aliens, all of Laz's bullets that ended up in Sammy's head.

Thanks to everyone who attended, I hope it was fun. There is still room for 2 more people to join in from next week if you want to. Once again, in case you were unsure, the link is https://store.steampowered.com/app/563560/.

Mission Outcome:It took a lot of teamwork and planning and coordination (not skills that our team are particularly good at, it must be said) but we finished the final mission of the first campaign after several tries.

Now we've moved on to another campaign, "Paranoia", consisting of what appears to be shorter levels but in much tighter corridors and smaller environments.

As always thanks to everyone for attending. It'd be nice to see more people around on Teamspeak for events - especially since this is a free game that you can dip into when you feel like it!

Mission Outcome:After I showed up 30mins late due to IRL, I was the only attendee found.

Laz doesn't have the game installed, but so we found out that Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005) is 10GB big! Bretty pig for a 2005 game.

I played some rounds on a Mutliplayer server until I received blackscreens of death. After some research, I found out that the Discord overlay was creating them. After fixing, I played a singleplayer round on Coruscant. With only a few kills on my scoreboard, I was chosen to be able to play as Mace Windu. I took this opportunity to get into the Jedi combat again. How nostalgic good it was. I won the battle btw
